Verses were good, but I felt that none had the chorus down correctly, so I made a few revisions. It's mostly for myself, but there may be others that feel the same way that this could help.Was this info helpful?

Standard Tuning-No Capo
 
 
          F
If you're willing to wait
        A
for the love of your life,
Dm                 F        F
please wait by the line...
     F
And you know
           A                Dm
Dismissive prisms rainbow
 
But my native optimism
 
isn't broken
       F       F
by the light
 
 
     F
The idea of life without company
         F
Crashed suddenly
                       A
It crashed through the ceiling on me
    Dm               F      F
And pinned me to the pine
    F          A
And layer upon layer
   Dm
Of hope and doubt
                           F
Will crush bones to oil in time
 
  Bm        D         F#        G
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
  Em       Em     D   F#     G
I pull the weight towards me
   Bm      D            F#           G
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
  Em       Em     D    F#    G
Unless I have a woman pushing me
 
 
    F                  A
A canopy of red-billed quelea
Dm              F
Passed over the blue
   F
A five hour flock,
    A
Not one dives down,
   Dm           F       F
To tell you the truth
 
F
As night falls
    A
A quelea crawls
    Dm                   F     F
And whispers on his last wing
    F
"So abundant are we,
     A
Left alone I shall be,
      Dm                 F
But a waited phone never rings..."
 
 
  Bm        D         F#        G
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
  Em       Em     D   F#   G
I pull the weight towards me
   Bm       D          F#              G
And I lack the zest of a lemon, looking forward
  Em       Em     D    F#    G
Unless I have a woman pushing me
 
 
 
  Bm         D         F#        G
Are you a pusher or are you a puller?
   Bm          D         F#           G
We could hold hands for 15 minutes in the sauna
   Bm          D            F#            G
We could hold hands for a pool length underwater
  Em        D          G
I can push and pull her
 
          F
If you're willing to wait
        A
for the love of your life,
Dm                 F
